Halloween Fun

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Just playing it cool...Mr Risky Business

It's a little late..but better late than never :0 This was the first year we spent out side of UT for a holiday. We usually took the boys out before dark for trick or treating...and we froze :) NOT HERE!! We started out in the 70 degree weather before the sun set and quickly realized that NO ONE trick or treats here before the sun goes down. So we felt kind of silly going to door to door...so we cut the first round short and waited like everyone else....which is how I remember Halloween. Max and Daddy then went back out with our neighbors boys in the dark for some real fun!

Let's See Some Pumpkins!!!!

It was a beautiful day, perfect for walking around my new favorite place. The Dallas Arboretum.
We were joined by my bestie Sarah and her little girls. (She took some brilliant pictures that I will post as soon as I can hijack them from her camera) :)


Sophie, Lily and Olivia

We have our pumpkins picked out.

I just wish daddy could have been in this one. It would have been a perfect Halloween or Thanksgiving card picture.

Daddy and his boys!!

These pumpkin houses were fabulous! They had 4 or 5 of them all decorated inside. Very cool!

I LOVE Jacks face in this one...he has the cutest smile!!

These are more pictures on a return trip to the gardens over the weekend.

ROAR!!!!

It's Dinosaur Day :) We had nothing better to do with our afternoon so we went over to a local dino park. It was fun, Max was our guide. Telling us all about the dinosaurs and helping us find our way out of the miles of walking trails.
All the dinosaurs were mixed into the walking trails and everyone of them were animated and roared, spit water and moved their bodies. A few freaked Max out like this T-Rex :)
The trails also had a butterfly garden, and mini zoo. Pretty cool impromptu afternoon.

No need to fear Max will ride some roller coasters instead
